Suspicions confirmed on the road bike. The slowest part of my planned ride, the against the wind part, I averaged 15.1 MPH for 21 miles. However, the reviews are mixed as I got a flat on some gravel (only road like forty feet on gravel) and ended up doing some serious walking and my arm is all "pumped up" from pumping and riding and pumping and riding.
I'm getting a new tube with slime (whatever the hell that is) today.
Ride on!

See, this is another reason I am not a big fan of road bikes, my father also has flats frequently. No, thank you! He won't even get near gravel with his bike, which means he can't ride the canal path with me (my usual route). I am sorry that happened to you!
Did another 18 last night, it was beautiful weather. Today and tomorrow are forecasting rain, then I am going way for the weekend, so you have a huge opportunity to catch up! :)

It is fun, isn't it? Definitely encourages me to get out the door and pedal some days!

I did the same today. Last night my front tire went completely flat. LOL, first bike ride in 5 years and now I have to wait until my dad fixes my bike for my next one.
